Solution For Battlefield 1 DirectX Function Error Crash Nvidia or AMD

Battlefield 1 was released worldwide on 21 October and it received very positive reviews from critics and was seen as an improvement over previous installments with most praise given to its World War I theme and visuals. The bad part is that the game has a small issue that persists and the developers haven’t made any improvements to fix it.

Battlefield 1 DirectX Function Error Crash is the issue that stops a lot of people from playing the game. It seems that the game is randomly crashing due to a DirectX function error and players have experienced it, both, with DirectX 11 and DirectX12. In the first, there were just players with the Nvidia cards but after a while, AMD players started to experience this type of crash too.

We believe we have isolated a few of the DX issues in this thread and are working on fixes for those to be included in future patches.

The Dev team continues to work with our partners regarding this issue.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any solid update at this time, but they have been working diligently with our partners to address the DX issue.

I’ve literally spent more than an hour trying to find a fix without any result. As usual, I do not get any response from the EA support, which is quite annoying.
I have used the later driver, which did not help.
I have used the previous driver, which did not help.
I have tried re-installing the game and repairing the game, which did not help.

All suggested fixes that did not work for this specific error (Thanks to Kirister for keeping this list up to date):

GPU (GTX 770)
– Underclocked Core (-105MHz, which is the max value) / Mem (-685MHz).
– Set maximum safe values for Overvolt, Power and Temperature target.
– GPU temperature goes up to 75°c in 100% load, which is within the normal range.
– Removed GPU physically and cleaned the dust off.
– Stress tested GPU using Furmark: no issue.
– Set display to 60Hz (from 144Hz).
– No crash in any other game than BF1, including BF4.
